Chapter 508: The Calculations of the Lyon Family

Tina narrowed her eyes. On the day her mother committed suicide, several families had visited their home,

including the Hancock family. At that time, she found information about the Ashbury Hancock family. After going

to Ashbury, she thoroughly investigated but found nothing amiss. However, she had not yet checked into the

Clearwater Hancock family. The Woodham family and Ward family, who had also appeared at their home, were

investigated and found to have no issues. Only this Hancock family... Tina's lips curled up slightly. They had

hidden for so long and only now surfaced. Things were getting interesting.

Tina drew her gaze back, recalling something, and asked, "Was the Brookes family not involved?" Nathan shook

his head, "No, or perhaps they are, but we haven't been able to find out yet. The Brookes family is deeply

entrenched, and many of their dealings aren't overt, not easily traceable." Tina nodded. If the Brookes family

also had a research facility, it would be much more convenient for her in Clearwater.

Jared reviewed the information Nathan had gathered, paying particular attention to the dealings of these biotech

companies. It seemed that the Lyon family had only recently established contact with the Hancock family, and

saspects of the business were not as straightforward as they appeared. "It looks like we'll need to deal more

with the Hancock family," Jared said, his brow furrowed deeply with disgust. Dealing with the Hancock family

meant entangling with that Grace, which was a repulsive thought. Even the brief touch of pushing Grace away

with a towel made him feel unclean. He would need a thorough shower tonight!

Nathan, noticing Jared growing more agitated, looked puzzledly at Tina. He blinked: "Madam, what's wrong with

Mr. Farrell? | didn't provoke him!" Tina replied, "It's nothing, just feeling a bit irritated, no worries." Jared slammed

the files shut, "Let's find a place to eat, and after that, continue our investigation." Nathan quickly agreed,

knowing that obeying Jared's orders, even if it meant driving into a river, was far preferable to bearing the brunt

of his anger.

After dinner, Jared received a call from Grandma Lyon. "Jared, you're out of line, treating the Hancock family's

daughter that way. Do you realize how much trouble you could invite if you offend her? You are too thoughtless,

cback himmediately!" Before Jared could respond, Grandma Lyon hung up in a huff. Jared pocketed his

phone, his expression darkening, "Nathan, take Tina back first." "No need, | am the head of the Lyon family. How

can | not show up when there's trouble at home?" Tina said with a slight smile, curious to see what Grandma

Lyon would attempt next.

At the Lyon family home, Stephanie was crying her heart out. "I finally managed to get Grace to meet today,

hoping she could have a good talk with my brother, at least get to know each other. But who knew what Tina

would do, Grandma, Grace was so wronged today, you must help her." Grandma Lyon nodded repeatedly, "Don't

cry, Grace is the granddaughter-in-law | have chosen, | will naturally help her. Tina has gone too far."

Sonia poured Grandma Lyon a cup of tea and sat beside her, "Mom, Tina has the Lyon family's head ring, what

can we do?" Grandma Lyon snorted, "What of it? If she still wants to be my granddaughter-in-law, she must kneel

before me. If she insists on being our family head, she can't blJared for not having a future with her."

Sonia massaged Grandma Lyon's shoulders, still scheming. No matter what, she needed to change Jared's

opinion of her first, to find out the status of the relationship between Asher and Marie. If it was already beyond

repair, it would be perfect timing for Jared's visit, using his nto get closer to the Farrell family.

If they were still as annoying as before, it didn't matter, as long as Jared knew what kind of person his mother

was. Warren's family sat across from Grandma Lyon, with Connor's fingers wrapped in gauze, the bones Jared

had broken still throbbing with pain.

"Hmph, | told Stephanie to introduceto that Grace, but she wouldn't, and now look what happened! If you

had introduced her to me, Grandma, your great-grandson might already be here, and we wouldn't be struggling

to deal with the little Hancock family!"

Stephanie was the first to object, "You think you can chase Grace? Have you even looked in the mirror? Are you

half as good as my brother? Shameless!"

"Stephanie, at least I'm your brother, keep your mouth clean for me!"

"Pah, what are you!"

"Stephanie, am | giving you too much face?"

Connor then stood up, pointing at Stephanie with his injured fingers, his face menacing.

Leah naturally defended her daughter, "Connor, what are you trying to do?"

Seeing this, Warren also pulled his son back, "Calm down, that's your sister. We need to be united against

outsiders, can we afford internal conflicts?" Megan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Exactly, our biggest

threat is Tina."

The atmosphere eased a bit, and Megan continued, "Mom, | actually have an idea, want to hear it?"

Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit 000005sfor the full experience. You won't find the next chapter

anywhere else. Happy reading!

"Speak," Grandma Lyon responded.

"Jared is already bewitched by Tina, completely devoted to her. We might as well prepare a backup plan. If

Connor could also get to know Grace, maybe they'll take a liking to each other, right? After all, we just want to

connect with the Hancock family. If Grace marries Connor, our families would be even closer, better than letting

the Farrell family take advantage."

Megan's words weren't new to Grandma Lyon.

Jared, after all, was Marie's son and ultimately an outsider to the Lyon family. Unfortunately, the moment Grace

saw Jared in Ashbury, she fell deeply in love with him and wanted to marry him. Connor didn't really stand a

chance.

Megan, knowing what Grandma Lyon was thinking, continued, "Mom, | know it's difficult, but it's better than

putting all our eggs in one basket, right?"

After Megan finished, she signaled to Sonia with her eyes.

Sonia silently nodded, "Megan is right, Mom, having a backup plan is better than relying solely on Jared."

Hearing this from her beloved daughter, Grandma Lyon finally nodded, "Okay, let's give Connor a chance to get

to know Grace, starting as friends wouldn't hurt."

Stephanie glanced at her father, Oliver, who shook his head, signaling her to remain silent.

The Lyon family, although appearing united, each harbored their own agendas.

There was only one position for the heir, and now Warren and Oliver were equally matched, each with a son and

a daughter, both favored by Grandma Lyon.

It was just a matter of who could satisfy Grandma Lyon first.

What Grandma Lyon most wanted now was an alliance with the Hancock family to explore that mysterious

business chain.

So, Stephanie had early on becbest friends with Grace, ensuring she would not marry Warren's son, keeping

Grace on Oliver's side.

The Hancock family's business chain would then remain in Oliver and his family's hands.

Everyone had their own motives, yet outwardly they maintained harmony.

Soon, the butler walked in, his body also wrapped in bandages, "Mrs. Lyon, the guests have arrived."

As he finished speaking, Tina and Jared walked in hand in hand.
